Are ALL the following bulbs compatible with each other?

w5w
#194
#168
#161
#2825

Sorry to post another city light bulb thread. I searched and read through a lot of threads. Maybe I read the wrong ones. Just trying to figure out which bulb for these city light sockets. They're black diamond cut (I believe that is what they are called) headlamps:





Thanks for any help!!

When I search google for "w5w bulb" I see all these bulbs listed as well:

#194
#168
#161
#2825

When I google them individually to look at pics of each one, they all look the same as well. Will ALL the listed bulbs work in the socket above?

Thanks for any help!

 

I used 168s in the past.

What kind of headlights were they? Do you know if the sockets were similar to the ones I posted?

Thanks for the info

 

Bump anyone?

 

u have jdm headlight!

 

Yes, they will all fit the same socket. As indicated on the housing itself, your lights are designed for W5W wedge bulbs, which are available at most auto parts stores. If you can't find them, the others you listed can be substituted.

 

194=3.5watts
168=5watts
I have no clue about the others, but those I know for sure.... simple difference in light and heat produced.

 

Yes, there are subtle differences between them. However, for the purposes of a city light, each should work decently enough. I would probably stick with a 5 watt bulb in this case, since that is what was originally called for. As stated above, the correct W5W's are not at all difficult to find at local parts stores.

 

Were as I'm an led junkie and would stick the 5led "matrix" bulbs in there
